Minnesota Girl Nearly Run Over at Bus Stop

There's a cringe-worthy video going viral of a truck ignoring a school bus' flashing red lights and nearly running over a young girl. It serves as an excellent reminder that school is back in session, and you must stop for a bus.

The Minnesota State Patrol posted the video to their Facebook page, getting reactions from thousands of people.

Minnesota law requires drivers to stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying its flashing lights and stop arm. It applies to drivers behind the bus and approaching from the opposite direction on an undivided road. In 2016, the department found that 1,318 drivers violated state law by not stopping.

According to AARP, the penalty for not stopping is a Class 2 Misdemeanor with a fine up to $300 and/or imprisonment of 30 days.
